That is an interesting point. The IJS scale of values lists a separate base value for a 4Lz<, as if it were, for scoring purposes, a different jump altogether from either a 3Lz or a 4Lz. The base vale for the 4Lz< jump is 9.20 (considerably higher than a fully rotated triple Axel, for instance).
In fact, the base value for a 4Lz< (3.75 revolutions or so) is pretty much exactly half-way between the base value for a triple Axel (3.5 revolutions) and a 4Lz (4.0 revolutions), which has some sort of logic to it, I guess.
Anyway, the three jumps 4Lz, 3A< and another 3A< adds up (before GOE) to 22.00 points. To beat that a quadster without a triple Axel would have to do 4T, 4S, 2A = 22.50.
You are coming to my words now . Add to that positive GOEs and you have your equation (or inequality better).
